McAllister has performed as an actor and movement artist in the companies of many local luminaries including Lizz Roman & Dancers, Epiphany Dance Theater, Keith Hennessey Circus of Resistance, Chris Black, EmSpace , Fellow Travelers, Twisted Oak, Deborah Slater, and detour dance.  Her early training included A.C.T. in San Francisco, the Limon School in NY and Oakland Ballet.  

Uriah found his way into the world of working in Immersive Theatrical Experiences by way of his work with Nonchalance, a Situational Design Agency based in San Francisco. What began as a one-project deal with the agency blossomed into him co-producing The Jejune Institute and The Latitude Society, some of the most well-received city-scale experiences San Francisco has ever seen, the remnants of which can still be found embedded in the city streets to this very day.  2017/18 was Uriah's first season with 13th Floor - he creates all the sound design for all the company productions, as well playing the roles of Gothbot in Space Pilots in Spaaaace!, Andrew in Clawfoot, and Gideon in An Assemblage of Monsters.
